00:01 I'm Agatha Thrash, a staff physician at
00:03 Uchee Pines Institute... 00:05 and we will be discussing for the next half an hour, 00:08 some afflictions that women have that are very uncomfortable 00:12 Women's problems involve everybody, 00:14 so we hope you'll stay by. 00:36 Welcome to "Help Yourself to Health" 00:38 with Dr. Agatha Thrash of Uchee Pines Institute 00:42 And now, here's your host, Dr. Thrash. 00:46 Women are actually quite sturdy! 00:49 You may think, from some of the afflictions that 00:52 women suffer, that perhaps we are really fragile. 00:55 But we live longer than men. 01:01 We can endure longer than men... a lot of times. 01:05 And sometimes the way that we conduct ourselves indicates 01:10 that we have more stamina than men have. 01:13 But we have certain very vulnerable areas... 01:18 And in these areas, we do become fragile. 01:22 And one of those is painful menstruation. 01:24 Now while there are a number of treatments that you can get, 01:28 some of these treatments are treatments that you can get 01:30 from a health food store... 01:31 Some of them are from your grocery store 01:34 and most of them are things that can be done... 01:38 can be simply incorporated into any well-run home. 01:41 But I have asked one of my cohorts at Uchee Pines, 01:46 who is a massage therapist, to help me show you some 01:50 things that can be done for women who are having 01:53 a real problem with painful menstruation. 01:56 So this is my associate, Valerie Schreiber, 01:59 and Valerie is a massage therapist, as well as 02:03 an excellent cook... 02:05 And we need all of those skills to help women to cope 02:08 with their painful menstruation 02:10 and other afflictions that women have. 02:13 And also my granddaughter, Melissa, is going to be 02:16 the subject and I'm sure that every woman will see her 02:21 getting this little massage and wish that it were she 02:25 But, at any rate, we will show you and maybe you can get 02:28 some person to help you when you need this kind of help. 02:33 Okay, Valerie, what can you show us? 02:35 Okay... I'm going to show the women out there 02:41 how they can... if you have someone in your family, 02:43 your husband, or a friend, or one of your children 02:47 can do this to you. 02:49 The nerves leading to the uterus primarily 02:51 come out on the right side of the low back 02:54 and so, a way to massage is to take the heel part of your hand 02:59 and find the spine, go right on the opposite side of the spine 03:04 and just circle. 03:05 Just do circles like this and press. 03:08 Usually feels absolutely wonderful to them... 03:11 and just move down, circle and press down deep. 03:16 And you can just move over like this and you can even go 03:20 over here into the buttocks area and circle as well. 03:24 And you can, many times, relieve the menstrual pain 03:29 cramps when you do this. 03:31 Now, I know some of you are out there saying... 03:34 "Well, I don't have anybody to do this for me. " 03:37 So, I'm going to show you how you can do this 03:41 with a tennis ball. 03:42 Now you can take one tennis ball and you can get up against 03:46 a wall... or, you can lie down on the floor and put the 03:50 tennis ball right here in your back, 03:55 as you can probably see... 04:02 right here in your back and then you lean up against the wall, 04:05 or lean on the floor and just roll it and move it around 04:09 and it will relieve and you can station it at various parts 04:13 of the spine and it will work. 04:15 Just like... I can show you right here on Melissa now. 04:18 And you press against it. 04:21 Now, another way that you can do this... 04:23 You can get yourself a nylon stocking and you can put 04:26 2 tennis balls, tie a knot in it like this 04:30 and this will go on both sides of the spine... 04:34 And I tell you, this is a GOOD back massage. 04:36 You can probably lie down on that... 04:38 You can lie down on it... 04:39 and you can actually put it on the wall 04:41 and you can scoot up and down sort of like this 04:44 And this will roll up and down your spine... 04:48 ohhh... and it feels absolutely wonderful. 04:49 And you can put a ball right here on the buttocks area 04:55 And you can press against it 04:56 and it's just a wonderful massage. 04:58 Well, that's a second way. 05:01 Now a third way that you can do this is, 05:03 I'm going to show you on Melissa... 05:04 You can sit on the floor. 05:07 I did this exercise for my back, probably most of my life. 05:12 And it was always wonderful for relieving backaches 05:16 and menstrual cramps. 05:18 You just hug your legs like this and you rock... 05:22 You would just rock back and rock forward 05:25 and rock back and rock forward. 05:27 Melissa... we can't do that right here on the table... 05:30 She might fall off, so we don't want that to happen. 05:33 But you can get the general gist just by looking at this. 05:36 You just rock back and forth 05:37 and then you can rock sideways. 05:39 If you're on the floor, it doesn't matter if you wobble. 05:42 Yeah... right... but we're on a table, so it's not going 05:44 to quite work but on the floor is where you want to do this. 05:46 And so, you can rock back and forth, 05:48 and then you can rock sideways. 05:49 And many times, Dr. Agatha, this is wonderful... 05:53 I can testify to how good this treatment is. 05:55 Ah yes... Now are there some heat treatments or 05:58 ice treatments that work well for this too... Yes. 06:01 One of the other things... 06:02 and we do this SO many times at Uchee Pines... 06:06 I cannot count them. 06:07 We just do a simple hot foot bath. 06:10 A hot foot bath is SO good. 06:12 And you know, I've had them say to me... 06:14 They're in terrible cramps and they're in misery 06:16 I say, "Look, I want to put your feet in some hot water. " 06:19 They'll go... "That's not gonna work. I need something else. " 06:22 And I say... "Look, just TRY it. " 06:24 Yeah... "I hurt much too bad for that simple thing to be helpful 06:27 ...Give me a pill or whatever. 06:29 I just beg them... Let's try it. 06:31 So I put their feet in hot water 06:32 and in 10 minutes... 06:34 In fact, we just had a recent situation 06:35 with one of our students. 06:36 And we put her feet in hot water for 10 minutes, 06:39 it was probably less or close to it. 06:42 And all of a sudden, her eyes got big, you know... 06:45 And she was like... OHHH, IT'S GONE. 06:49 And she was so amazed. 06:51 And so I tell you ladies, that is one of the wonderful 06:54 treatments because usually in the uterus, 06:57 you have maybe a half a cup of blood 07:01 and just that much congestion will cause a tremendous 07:05 amount of pain. 07:06 So, when you feet are in the hot water, 07:08 what it does is, it pulls that blood away from 07:11 the uterine area and that's why it relieves the pain. 07:14 So I suggest you can just sit in your bathtub, 07:17 or put your feet over the bathtub and put them 07:19 right in the hot water... it's just wonderful. 07:21 If you have a headache, it will relieve it too. 07:23 Oh yes! 07:25 So for a lot of afflictions in the abdomen 07:27 or in the pelvis, or in the head, 07:30 you can do the hot foot bath and it's really quite effective. 07:33 One of the most marvelous things about these very 07:36 simple remedies... is that they are so simple... 07:39 and yet so effective. 07:40 The problem is that because they're so simple, 07:44 people literally do not believe that they could be helpful. 07:47 "I'm just too sick for that very simple thing to be of any 07:51 help to me"... and we hear that quite a great deal. 07:53 Another problem that women have is the menopause syndrome. 07:58 Now the menopause syndrome can begin shortly before 08:02 the menopause with hot flashes. 08:05 She may still be having periods. 08:07 But she may begin to have hot flashes and that may be 08:11 her first indication that she is entering into the menopause. 08:15 Now most women, once they have gone through the menopause 08:18 ...they are very, very happy that they no longer have 08:21 the periods with the emotional upsets and the hormone 08:25 imbalances and the bloating and the difficulties that 08:30 women have associated with the menstrual period. 08:33 They are very happy for that... 08:35 but they do have some other symptoms that can be a problem. 08:39 And so Valerie, do you have something that you do 08:43 for women that you see and your friends... 08:45 What do you do that can help a women with menopausal syndrome 08:50 OK... Melissa. I have a couple of favorite things that I use. 08:56 In your local health food store, 08:58 there are many herbal compounds that are put together that 09:03 are very good for menopause... 09:05 And, of course, the Pro-Gest cream is excellent... 09:07 But, one of the other treatments that work so well for me 09:11 and so well for many other women is what we call... 09:13 "adrenal stimulation. " 09:14 And so, I'm going to show it to you on Melissa, 09:18 but before I do, I want to show you where the 09:20 adrenal glands are, so that you can get an understanding 09:23 If you measure between the inferior aspect of your scapula, 09:29 or your shoulder blade, you can just say your shoulder blade 09:31 and your waist... go halfway up, 09:34 which would be... like here is her waist, 09:37 go halfway up and then one more finger 09:40 and then go right over next to your spine 09:42 and both of them sit there on top of your kidneys 09:44 And this is just absolutely the most wonderful 09:47 treatment... it can just... 09:49 Dr. Agatha... stop the hot flashes... It's amazing! 09:53 It's just absolutely amazing! 09:55 I love this treatment. 09:56 The adrenals are involved in the entire hormone axis 10:00 And so, of course, treating the adrenals can be very helpful 10:04 in helping a woman to deal with the menopausal problems. 10:09 So, what are you going to show us here on Melissa? 10:14 Okay, what I want to show you is... 10:16 we're going to pretend that where I have this towel is 10:18 really her bare skin because you want her back to be bare 10:22 so that you're going to work right on it. 10:24 Now, you can do this a couple of ways... 10:26 I did go to Wal-Mart and bought one of these packs... 10:32 it's sort of like a hydroculator pack... 10:34 and you can either make it cold or hot 10:36 So, you can put this in your microwave and this makes it 10:39 kind of quick and it will last for about 3 or 4 exchanges 10:42 so that you can have 2 of these, 10:44 Or, you can go ahead and take a towel, just like this, 10:48 wet it down, fold it over, put it in a plastic bag 10:51 in your microwave and heat 2 or 3 of them up at a time 10:54 and you can use it this way. 10:55 Now this treatment is very fast and that is the 10:58 major reason that I've used this type of hydroculator pack 11:01 because I can do it 3 or 4 times on the back 11:05 without having to get another hot one. 11:07 So now I have heated this up in the microwave, 11:10 I will wrap it into a towel like this 11:15 And I will bring it out and put it on her back 11:18 Now this treatment has to go 1 minutes, 1 minute, 1 minute. 11:21 Fast stimulation... usually 6 exchanges are sufficient 11:26 I put 7 because that's God's perfect number, 11:29 so I go back and forth 7 times. 11:30 This goes on the adrenals? 11:31 This goes right over the adrenals... it's hot. 11:34 Now how I have done this, and let me just show you... 11:37 I have taken a ziplock bag filled it with ice, 11:42 then I have taken a hand towel and got it wet 11:46 Now this is the way to do it real quick... 11:49 I take the ziplock bag, lay it down on the wet towel, 11:53 and then I can just pick it up like this and it's good and wet. 11:57 So, I put the hot on and my timer rings 12:04 I grab this here like this, pull this back... 12:07 dry it off just a minute and put the cold on for 1 minute. 12:11 Now this will stay... I keep it right here 12:13 This will stay here for just... 12:18 nice and hot for at least 3 or 4 exchanges. 12:20 I leave this on just about a half a minute to a minute 12:22 I take this off, just dry it with this towel 12:25 ...back on again. 12:26 Aw... easy. Yeah, very quick. 12:28 And then I just pull that back again when it rings 12:31 wipe that, put that on. 12:32 And so you can do this very quickly... 12:34 However, you do need someone to help you do this. 12:37 I have tried to figure out how to do this by myself 12:40 by having a hot one and my cold ready 12:44 and it is quite a work to do it yourself but you can. 12:46 But, let me tell you what some women have told me 12:48 and they have had results... 12:50 Now, I didn't do this myself, 12:51 but I've had a number of women that I explained 12:54 how to do this treatment but they didn't have 12:56 anyone to help them. 12:57 They got in the shower, 12:58 they turned back to the shower 13:00 and they were able to turn their shower off and on 13:03 quick enough... 13:04 And they would do this stimulation and they 13:06 had good results. 13:07 I suppose you sort of aim right about the middle of the back 13:11 or between the shoulder blades. Um hm. 13:13 Sounds good. 13:15 And they had very good results doing that. 13:17 Melissa, do you feel better now? 13:20 This is, of course, for the menopause. 13:22 But it can also be used for many other things. 13:25 Any time you wish to stimulate the adrenals, 13:28 this one is a good one. 13:29 As for asthma, it is also very good for fatigue. 13:32 And sometimes I tell people who fall asleep in church 13:36 that it would be good if they got a good adrenal stimulation 13:39 before they go to church so they can stay awake 13:41 during the church service. 13:43 Now another affliction that women have... 13:47 it's principally women, 13:49 and that is osteoporosis. 13:51 More than 90% of osteoporosis occurs in women. 13:55 It also is not a very comfortable disorder. 14:01 And we often use soy proteins for that and soy in many ways... 14:08 just as we do for the menopause. 14:10 And so again, I have asked Valerie Schreiber 14:13 if she would show you some things in the use of soy. 14:17 As I look at these things here, I see some of my very favorite 14:21 foods and so tell us about some of these... 14:24 This looks like breakfast... 14:26 one of my favorite breakfast foods... Right. 14:28 This is another one of these sequences of doing foods 14:33 so that you end up with more than one thing. 14:35 But I start out with soybeans... 14:37 These are soaked soybeans? Soaked soybeans. 14:41 You just soak them overnight and they look just exactly like this 14:45 Then I take them and I put them in a blender 14:48 and when I blend them, it looks like this... See 14:55 Ah... yes. 14:56 Now you can do many things with this. 15:00 Yours look just like mine when I blend it up like that. 15:03 And so then, I take it over here into the frying pan 15:08 yes... and I scramble it... just like you would eggs. 15:11 No differently... is how I do this. 15:14 And you could put various seasonings... 15:17 I have in here turmeric, because you know, that gives it 15:19 the yellow flavor and makes it kind of look like the real thing 15:21 But you can put some chicken-style seasoning in it, 15:24 garlic, onions, whatever you would choose... 15:28 and many times, Dr. Agatha, I put green peppers and 15:31 red peppers and onions in here and shitake mushrooms 15:35 and, ooh, is it ever delicious... Sounds good but 15:37 I think I would call this the real thing... 15:39 Yeah... and the other is the substitute. 15:42 The substitute, right. 15:43 And so anyway, here I have eggs... let's say scrambled 15:49 soy eggs in the morning 15:51 And so I always make a real big batch 15:54 and so that I have that for breakfast and then 15:57 I take... it looks just like this, 16:00 and I put it into a bowl and I make egg salad. 16:04 And right here, I have the egg salad. 16:06 Now what's in here, Dr. Agatha, is... I just have my mayonnaise, 16:10 that I made earlier and I put mayonnaise in it, 16:14 I chop up celery, onion and some of those sweet pickles 16:17 you get at your local health food store 16:18 and I just mix it all together and it makes a 16:20 wonderful egg salad. 16:21 Now I can tell you one more step you can do from this... 16:24 is you can take out this and add a little homemade mustard 16:29 to it and you can make something that looks a little bit 16:30 like a deviled egg. 16:32 How do you do that? 16:33 Well, you just take a portion out, like this... 16:36 and actually, you just can cut this in half and make a whole 16:40 little bowlful of it and you just make some homemade 16:43 mustard and you just mix the mustard in... 16:46 and you can take a portion at a time out... is how I did it. 16:49 I bought the little round corn chips... 16:52 and I just put that on a little corn chip... Oh yes... 16:55 and I sprinkle paprika over top of it 16:57 and it looked just like a deviled egg and 16:58 I thought it taste like it too. 17:00 Well that sounds very good. 17:01 And I'm certain that it will be a very great help 17:04 to those who need to increase their soy, their phytoestrogens, 17:09 and soy is, of course, a very good way to do that. 17:12 Now, we use soy in a lot of things that you might not 17:18 think of them as being helpful. 17:19 For instance in cancer, 17:21 soy products of all kinds are really quite useful in cancer. 17:26 But the soybeans themselves, as we have shown you just now, 17:30 are the very best possible way that you can use soybeans 17:34 rather than some commercial product. 17:37 So see if you can find the soybeans themselves 17:40 and prepare those in hundreds of very tasty ways. 17:45 And it isn't necessary for you to do exactly as we have done 17:48 but some way devise methods of using soy so that you can 17:53 increase the phytoestrogens from soy. 17:56 I think it would not be wrong if you had soybeans 17:59 every day the rest of your life. 18:01 I know one man who is now, almost 90, 18:04 who has had soybeans every day of his life 18:07 since he was about 45. 18:09 So certainly for him, it has been a very good thing. 18:13 Now concerning the matter of osteoporosis or 18:16 thinning of the bones, 18:17 we need to give firm attention to that, 18:21 and focus on this because from early in life, 18:25 a women needs to be strengthening the bones 18:27 because she is prone to get osteoporosis later in life. 18:31 And I have asked Don Miller, who has studied this matter 18:35 at some depth, to talk with you about osteoporosis... 18:39 Don Miller is an associate of mine at Uchee Pines Institute 18:43 and he will talk with you now about 18:45 some things of osteoporosis. 18:47 Okay, Dr. Thrash, osteoporosis, 18:50 I'm going to say at the very beginning, is not just 18:53 an old lady's disease. 18:54 Two other groups are apt to get osteoporosis... 18:58 One, men can get osteoporosis. 19:00 And so, don't think that we are immune to the disease... 19:04 it just more happens to be in a woman's realm, 19:08 than in a man's realm. 19:09 What makes a woman more susceptible to osteoporosis 19:13 is the fact that she usually does not have as much muscle 19:15 mass, or as much weight. 19:17 So that shows you that if a woman, a little bit heavier 19:20 and we're not talking about overweight 19:22 because that has its other whole set of problems with it 19:25 But if a woman is a little bit heavier, she is less likely 19:29 to get osteoporosis 19:30 And here's the reason why... 19:32 Our bones need a daily shake up. 19:34 They need to be stressed. 19:35 Every time you stress a bone, you're telling the bones... 19:38 "Look, we need to build more bone mass. " 19:40 And so, it sends out and it brings more calcium 19:44 from the bloodstream and starts building a better 19:46 base of the bone. 19:48 Now I mentioned another group... 19:49 But I want to read a little piece of an article 19:53 I received in a magazine on an airline flight some time ago 19:57 The headline of the article was, "Sick Kids. " 20:01 This is very interesting... 20:03 It says.. "Osteoporosis, a dangerous thinning of the 20:08 bones that usually takes place in women after menopause 20:11 is now being found in adolescent girls. " 20:15 Now, what are they basing it on? 20:17 Why do they think that these young girls... 20:19 ...We're talking about young girls getting osteoporosis... 20:22 They're basing it on the fact that soft drink consumption 20:26 has doubled and tripled recently. 20:29 It's all this drinking of the soft drinks. 20:31 Now, they also say that it's because it's replacing 20:33 the milk in the diet. 20:35 And, I don't go with that because milk has its own set 20:40 of precautions for osteoporosis which I'll explain in a moment. 20:44 But it's ALL the drinking of the sodas. 20:46 Now, another word for soda is soft drinks... 20:50 what also makes soft bones. 20:52 What is happening is the soda is full of phosphoric acid 20:56 and it's the phosphorus that causes the bone 21:00 calcium to go down because it causes the 21:03 blood calcium to go down. 21:04 This is the way it works... 21:06 We have in our bloodstream, plenty of calcium. 21:09 It's there for a number of reasons. 21:10 It's used for a clotting mechanism 21:14 It's used for neurotransmission... 21:16 It needs to be out there for that and a number 21:18 of other things... hormones and everything else. 21:20 Well, when we take in a large amount of phosphorus, 21:24 the calcium says, "I've got to go somewhere else" 21:27 And so normally, it goes to the kidneys 21:28 and it's excreted from the body. 21:30 That causes other problems. 21:32 We start having a calcification in the kidney area 21:35 causing some kidney stones. 21:37 Two other things will cause the same reaction 21:39 with the calcium... 21:40 is a high protein diet and a high sodium diet. 21:45 Now there is one food that's very high in calcium, 21:48 very high in protein, very high in phosphorus, 21:52 and very high in sodium 21:53 and that very product is milk and all dairy products. 21:56 And so as we take in this quantity of milk, 22:01 it's going to cause the calcium to say... 22:03 "I've got to leave for now" 22:05 That's why we see the need... the daily requirement 22:09 being raised higher and higher. 22:10 I've seen some figures as high as 1500 milligrams 22:13 for calcium a day 22:14 But one very sage Harvard researcher says that... 22:18 a woman needs about 128 milligrams of calcium per day. 22:22 Now why this disparity between 128 and 1500... 22:27 It's because, and he said it himself in an article, 22:29 it's because the lifestyle that would require us 22:33 to keep the calcium in place, 22:35 is a little bit too rigorous and we're not willing to do it. 22:38 We're not willing to leave out the dairy products. 22:40 We're not willing to leave off the soft drinks. 22:44 We're not willing to leave off the caffeinated beverages. 22:48 A woman who drinks, postmenopausal, one cup of 22:51 coffee or, I might say, brown drinks a day... 22:54 Brown drinks being coffee, tea, cola and chocolate. 22:58 One cup a day, she'll lose 1.4% of her bone calcium 23:03 every single year. 23:04 Added to that, cigarette smoking... 23:07 and not too many cigarettes, 23:08 she'll lose another 1% of her bone calcium every year. 23:11 So, let's say between the ages of 50 and 60, 23:14 if she just... "I just drink a little bit of coffee 23:17 and just smoke a couple of cigarettes"... 23:19 In that little action, she'll lose 24% of her bone calcium 23:23 in one decade from those 2 bad habits 23:26 And usually, if you have those 2 bad habits, 23:28 you've got many other bad habits with it. 23:30 And so, how do we keep from getting osteoporosis? 23:33 One, we get our calcium the way God packaged it. 23:36 I've not seen too many cows with osteoporosis. 23:39 And it's funny, cows seem to be able to wean themselves 23:42 at a very young age. 23:44 And I've not yet seen a bull out in the field suckling 23:47 on a cow. 23:48 No... a bull is out there eating legumes, is out there eating 23:52 greens, is out there eating grains... 23:53 And that's where we should get our calcium from. 23:56 When I was a child, we had a farm, 24:01 and my sisters and I would go out into the fields 24:03 and there was one thing we loved to do... 24:05 in the corner of one of the fields where we would have 24:07 a couple of cows, we'd raise for beef, I used to be a beef eater 24:10 ...there would be a big blue block. 24:13 Now some of you know what that big blue block was. 24:15 That big blue block was salt. 24:18 And we'd walk up... we didn't know any better, 24:20 and we'd go slurp, slurp and we'd lick on that big salt block 24:23 Well, that salt block was there for the cows to lick on because 24:26 they've got much higher quantities of sodium 24:29 in their bodies. 24:30 As a matter of fact, a cow... a mother cow, 24:34 in her milk, will have 4 or 5 times as much sodium 24:38 as human milk will have. 24:40 Now I believe that a great Divine Designer designed the 24:43 milk for the baby cow 24:45 and He says... "Hmm, this baby cow needs a little bit more 24:47 sodium" and so He put a lot more sodium in mother's milk. 24:51 He looked at the human and says, "Hmm, needs a lot LESS sodium" 24:55 and put a lot less sodium in mother's milk. 24:57 And so when the human baby nurses from its mother, 25:02 it's receiving a very low quantity of sodium. 25:04 But somehow, we want to put our children on dairy milk 25:08 somewhere in their lives 25:09 which makes their sodium go up, 25:11 which starts making them, setting them up 25:13 some day for osteoporosis. 25:15 We need to do exercises every day. 25:18 We get on a good vegetarian diet, 25:19 we do exercising every day, 25:21 we stay away from caffeine, we stay away from colas, 25:25 we stay away from tea and chocolate... 25:26 all of which are going to cause us to lose our bone calcium. 25:29 We NEED to do these simple things 25:31 And these simple things, we're going to find, 25:34 will protect us. 25:35 Now one of the BEST, 25:37 as a matter of fact, I think it's the BEST source of 25:39 calcium that I know of... is just good old greens. 25:41 ...Collards, mustard greens, whatever these greens may be 25:45 very high, but strawberries have calcium, peaches, 25:50 apricots, figs. 25:52 As a matter of fact, extremely progressive 25:56 nutritionists today will say that there's really 25:59 no need to have an RDA for calcium because it's 26:03 so common out there, we don't need to sit there and say 26:07 ...you have to take this much because if you're eating 26:09 anything, you're eating calcium. 26:11 So calcium intake is not the problem. 26:13 It's calcium outgo that's the problem. 26:16 Lower the protein intake, 26:18 lower the phosphorus intake, 26:19 lower the sodium intake... 26:21 You'll keep your calcium. 26:22 Work on your bones, do some muscle work. 26:25 Do some walking. 26:26 Get out there and exercise which will cause 26:28 your osteoblasts to lay down some more bone matrix 26:31 and you will not get osteoporosis. 26:33 And so, pretty simple things, Dr. Thrash... 26:36 a way to keep from getting osteoporosis. 26:38 Yes, and I've heard you mention about smoking 26:41 that smoking is also a serious problem 26:44 causing osteoporosis. 26:45 Now, he mentioned that coffee, tea, colas and chocolate 26:51 were a factor and we'd like to show you 26:55 some substitutes for these harmful things 27:00 in the form of carob. 27:03 And I'd like to just point to you that there are some 27:07 absolutely delicious things which Valerie has made... 27:10 What do you have here? 27:11 Well this is carob Bavarian cream... 27:14 Oh... so you have a recipe for that? 27:16 Yes I do. 27:17 I'll have to get that from you. 27:18 And this is... you can make your own cream. 27:21 And I just kind of put the carob pudding and whipped cream 27:25 and mixed it up, going all the way up the dish which 27:27 makes it quite attractive. Ah ha... it does. 27:29 And very appetizing and the kids really love it... I'm sure. 27:33 My little secret to carob is to put mint in it or peanut butter 27:39 in it and it makes it very delicious... 27:40 ...makes it creamy and nice... um hmm 27:41 Yes, well I'm certainly happy that we do not have to be 27:46 limited in what we can eat. 27:48 There are many delightful things without having 27:50 anything that we're going 27:52 to find harmful to our bodies. |
